The OBE she received soon after cemented her status as another McCartney of whom Britain could justly be proud.
McCARTNEY’s own Handbag label was launched in 2001backed by what was then the Gucci Group.
McCartney was named Chloe’s creative director in 1997, Karl Lagerfeld made a now infamous remark. Chloe should have taken a big name, he said. They did, but in music, not fashion.
While her first collection of Ladies Handbag took the humour too far for some critics, this was a minor niggle.
McCartney’s collections are now a favourite of smart women looking for bags that will thrill but that will also integrate easily into busy lives.
As the daughter of a Beatle, McCartney has spent her entire
Career coming up against such skepticism and yet she has always managed to win through. McCartney’s easy, flattering and real life friendly aesthetic is one that women love.
Mesh Bags become the main products of McCartney’s fashion lines.
With evening bags beyond the red carpet and well-cut trouser suits two of her strengths, the label earned USD6 million in 2012. McCartney’s ultimate vote of confidence came that same year when she also designed the kits for the British team to wear at the London Olympics. The emphasis on streamlined for day-wear also applied to handbags.
Although the leather shortage was global, in America, women who were not co-opted into the factories and who could afford such items accessorized their outfits with large, luxurious and yet understated handbags purchased from stores such as
Hattie Carnegie’s in Manhattan.
